- 8. THURSDAY MORNING KEYNOTE: MELVIN CONWAY Coding vs. the Brain: Can’t We All Just Get Along? 1. Alfa Time: 2015/11/19 09:10 - 10:10 In an extremely short time interactive information appliances such as mobile devices, computers, and interactive kiosks such as ATMs have exploded into common use all over the globe. An understanding of how these appliances work must now join arithmetic and the calendar in the migration toward uni- versally accessible simplicity. This migration will require a radical simplification of the conceptual model for the internal workings of interactive appliances that is more intuitive than algorithms for the mass of people. The talk presents a hybrid unidirectional-flow/message model of the internal operation of interac- tive information appliances that is intuitive, generally applicable, and largely algorithm-free. It also presents design principles that formalize what-you-see-is-what-you-get construction-tool behavior. Finally, the talk demonstrates a proof-of-concept application builder that conforms to these de- sign principles and that builds small applications that work according to the new conceptual model. @conways_law OPENING KEYNOTE: UNCLE BOB The last programming language 1. Alfa Time: 2015/11/18 09:15 - 10:15 For the last 50 years we’ve been exploring language after language. Now many of the “new” languages are actually quite old. The latest fad is “functional programming” which got it’s roots back in the 50s. Have we come full circle? Have we explored all the different kinds of languages? Is it time for us to finally decide on a single language for all software development? In this talk Uncle Bob walks through some of the history of programming languages, and then prognosticates on the future of languages. @unclebobmartin
- 9. FRIDAY MORNING KEYNOTE: BRIAN TROUTWINE Getting Uphill on a Candle: Crushed Spines, Detached Retinas and One Small Step 1. Alfa Time: 2015/11/20 10:00 - 11:00 Looking back through history, we often view NASA’s early mission in terms of “getting to the Moon”, discussing how this or that program served the purpose of answering Kennedy’s challenge. This is wrong-headed. In this talk I will discuss aeronautics research beginning with the Writght Brothers and ending with the first Shuttle launch in 1981. We’ll see how NASA is an organization whose primary mis- sion is basic research and development in aeronautics for the benefit of the public at large and space ex- ploration. We’ll see how the Lunar Program was a focusing of research to a practical, political aim which built off decades of basic research and necessarily side-lined other programs. It’s my aim to convince you that Moonshot projects cannot be considered independently of their organizations and its history. @bltroutwine CLOSING KEYNOTE: MARK RENDLE The last programming language 1. Alfa Time: 2015/11/20 17:10 - 18:10 For the last 50 years we’ve been exploring language after language. Now many of the “new” languages are actually quite old. The latest fad is “functional programming” which got it’s roots back in the 50s. Have we come full circle? Have we explored all the different kinds of languages?

- 20. Speakers & Sessions Wednesday, Nov 18 OREN EINI (AYENDE RAHIEN) Building blocks of a distributed system 1. Alfa Time: 10:35 - 11:30 In this talk, Oren will discuss the building blocks of building a reliable, transac- tional distributed database. In particular, this session will cover ACID compli- ance, ensuring consistency between distributed nodes (with failure handling), monitoring and management, dissemination of information in the system, and more. @ayende JEREMY GIBBONS Categories for the Working Programmer 2. Beta Time: 10:35 - 11:30 The Haskell community is famous - perhaps infamous - for its enthusiasm for category theory. Why is this? Is it important to understand categories before you can understand Haskell programs? Is it an attempt to keep the community as pure as the language? Is it just that Haskell is a refuge for underemployed mathematicians? None of the above! In this talk, I hope to explain a little bit about how categories can help the working functional programmer. I’ll focus on categories as an organising principle, helping us to manage generic libraries. No monads were harmed during the making of this talk. @jer_gib GIL TAYAR Old Gods & New: A Vision of Backend & Frontend 3. Lambda Time: 10:35 - 11:30 @giltayar
- 21. Speakers & Sessions Wednesday, Nov 18 YAN CUI Seven ineffective coding habits many F# programmers don’t have 4. Zeta Time: 10:35 - 11:30 At BuildStuff’14, Kevlin Henney presented an excellent talk titled “Seven in- effective coding habits of many programmers”. As an attendee that day and someone who has exhibited many of these habits over the years, I came to re- alize that using F# has cured me of many of these ineffective habits! In this talk I’ll share my thoughts on how the use of F# and functional programming techniques can help form and nurture good habits and give you the perfect practice you need to make perfect. @theburningmonk DMYTRO MINDRA Refactoring Legacy Code 5. Theta Time: 10:35 - 11:30 Every programmer has to face legacy code day after day. It might be ugly, it might look scary, it can make a grown man cry. Some will throw it away and try rewriting everything from scratch. Most of them will fail. Refactoring legacy code is a much better idea. It is not so scary when you take it in very small bites, introduce small changes, add unit tests. When code is refactored and unit tests are added, changes to functinality can be introduced. We will take an open source c# project and will refactor it showing step-by-step examples of the techniques. This session is full of tips and tricks you can start applying immediately. Although the code is in C#, the same principles can be applied in any language @dmytromindra
- 22. Speakers & Sessions Wednesday, Nov 18 ROB ASHTON The Shape an Erlang Application 1. Alfa Time: 11:50 - 12:45 Enough introductions to Erlang, let’s ignore the language for a moment and have a look at deeper things - how do you build and release Erlang projects? How do you structure Erlang projects? What are some common pitfalls to avoid when putting together Erlang applications, how do you manage dependencies? Let’s talk about the real stuff based on the last two years of my working as a full-time Erlang developer, lots of code and examples in a whirlwind tour - do try to keep up. @robashton AURIMAS ADOMAVICIUS Great User Experience Through DualTrack Scrum 2. Beta Time: 11:50 - 12:45 This talk builds on top of the content presented at the closing keynote of Agile Tour Vilnius 2014 - “Using agile with fixed bid projects”. A lot of companies struggle weaving design and development throughout their implementation of Agile. We would like to share our story of adopting agile and transitioning into a dual-track model for lean discovery, User Experience Design, and implemen- tation. Core structure of the presentation: - Metrics of great User Experience for the enterprise - Dual-track - model, common pitfalls, lessons learned - Closing the loop and using user metrics to quantify success of project (User Testing, etc.) More information is available upon request. @needoptic ALI KHEYROLLAHI 5 AntiPatterns in designing APIs 3. Lambda Time: 11:50 - 12:45 @aliostad
- 23. Speakers & Sessions Wednesday, Nov 18 JAMES NUGENT Managing secrets in production with Vault 4. Zeta Time: 11:50 - 12:45 @jen20 NAKUL MISHRA Microservice - no fluff the REAL stuff 5. Theta Time: 11:50 - 12:45 Some developers tend to believe that big data and huge traffics are pre-requi- sites to harness and reap the benefits offered by microservices. However, there are many problems like polyglot persistence, faster continuous build cycle, shorter release plan, etc. that can be solved by applying microservice archi- tecture even in smaller organizations. You don’t have to be a software giant to leverage stability, effectiveness and flexibility provided by microservices. Micro- service architecture has a lot to offer even for smaller organizations.In this talk, we will walk through the key concepts like service discovery & registry, circuit breaker, API gateway and edge service. Build a bunch of microservices demonstrating practical implementation of these patterns using open source components like Eureka, Zuul, Hystrix and powered by spring cloud.Lastly, we will deploy our microservices on a container based solution, i.e.
- 24. Speakers & Sessions Wednesday, Nov 18 VENKAT SUBRAMANIAM Rediscovering JavaScript 1. Alfa Time: 13:45 - 14:40 JavaScript is one of those very powerful languages that is often misunderstood and underutilized. It is quite popular, yet there is so much more we can do with it. In this presentation we will deep dive into the capabilities and strengths of this prominent language of the web. @venkat_s RICHARD MINERICH How We Use Functional Programming to Find the Bad Guys 2. Beta Time: 13:45 - 14:40 Traditional approaches in anti-money laundering involve simple matching algo- rithms and a lot of human review. However, in recent years this approach has proven to not scale well with the ever increasingly strict regulatory environ- ment. We at Bayard Rock have had much success at applying fancier approach- es, including some machine learning, to this problem. In this talk I walk you through the general problem domain and talk about some of the algorithms we use. Ill also dip into why and how we leverage typed functional programming for rapid iteration with a small team in order to out-innovate our competitors. @rickasaurus REYNHOUT YVES Trench Talk: Models and friends 3. Lambda Time: 13:45 - 14:40 This talk takes the janitor’s cut to models and friends. How they’re crunched, born, tested against scenarios, how they’re useful, what distinguishes them from others, how they’re visualized and communicated, how they change over time, how they do not always turn out the way you want them to be, how some of them turn to mud, how they don’t life in isolation, how ... well, you’ll just have to attend to hear more, won’t you? @bittacklr
- 25. Speakers & Sessions Wednesday, Nov 18 ITAMAR SYN-HERSHKO Logging makes perfect realworld monitoring and visualizations 4. Zeta Time: 13:45 - 14:40 How to keep a real-time, low-latency and high-stakes system up and running and well-monitored? how to investigate failure cases as they happen? and how to even know something is wrong before it’s too late? With logs of course. Lots of them. And then some cool stack to do stuff with it. Forter is a company with a Decision-as-a-Service product that deals with many e-commerce transac- tions in real time and answers a simple but hard question: “is this a fraud attempt or not?”. And if we were wrong, we pay. In this talk I will show how we are using various technologies to power our service and keep it high-available and well under control. Among the technologies I will discuss are Apache Storm, Node. js, Riemann (state machines in Clojure, yay!), collectd, D3.js and of course the ELK stack (and beats!). Some integrations which will be mentioned include PagerDuty, Slack, Jenkings and GitHub. @synhershko JEF CLAES Evil by Design 5. Theta Time: 13:45 - 14:40 In this talk, I’ll share what my experience has been working in the gambling business, how moving to events helped us gain a better understanding of the domain and which techniques and models casinos have perfected over the years to keep people playing. --- Last year I ventured into the domain of (online) gambling. Given that the industry has been around since forever, I expected most problems to be of the technical kind. As it turned out, the struggle with technology was only part of a bigger problem; to move forward we needed to fully grasp the industry and its consumers. Domain events started out as a way to dismantle a legacy system, but quickly proved to be an effective tool to gain a deeper understanding of our domain. Visualizing event streams, we discovered patterns that helped us identify what drives different types of users. Having a better understanding of what customers are looking for, we dove into existing literature to learn which techniques and models casinos use to cater for each type of user. We learned how to program chance while staying true to the Random Number God. Even when variance is brutal, casinos have enough data and tools to steer clear from the pain barrier. All of this entails interesting problems and software, but isn’t my code damaging society? Or is gambling just another human trait? @JefClaes
- 26. Speakers & Sessions Wednesday, Nov 18 DAVID LARIBEE The Liberal Arts Programmer 1. Alfa Time: 15:00 - 15:55 At a certain point software was everything in my life. Learning new languages, architectures, design patterns and acquiring skill in practice - my raisons d’etre. After a while things clicked, and I started leading teams of more junior program- mers. “The People Problem” presented new and foreign challenges. There’s nothing quite like working with others on real products to transform egocentric practice into empathic pragmatism. My search for a new bag of tricks led me back to my earlier studies in the humanities. Suddenly my liberal arts education, formerly regarded as tangential even if interesting, felt applicable to more than cocktail party conversation. In this talk we’ll look at disciplines outside the purview of software development with an eye for how borrowed ideas can yield not only inspiration and analogy, but real innovations and breakthroughs. I’ll share examples from fine art, psychology, history and literature influence my approach and the work of others. @laribee IAN COOPER Service Discovery and Clustering for .NET developers 2. Beta Time: 15:00 - 15:55 Building a distributed system means you need to consider how you will discover services, and ensure they are available. In this presentation we look at Service Discovery and Clustering approaches and tools, and show .NET developers how to work with tools such as Serf, Consul, and Zookeeper. @ICooper DIEGO ONGARO The Raft Consensus Algorithm 3. Lambda Time: 15:00 - 15:55 @ongardie
- 27. Speakers & Sessions Wednesday, Nov 18 SEAN TRELFORD Fun and games with F# 5. Theta Time: 15:00 - 15:55 In this live coding session I’ll show you how to make music, 3D scenes through to interactive video games with F# in the REPL. @ptrelford PAUL STACK Creating a scalable, repeatable infrastructure with Terraform 4. Zeta Time: 15:00 - 15:55 The age old task of racking and stacking in a physical data centre is becoming more and more rare as more companies embrace the public cloud. Having the ability to choose between providers such as AWS, Azure, Digital Ocean and Google Cloud Platform makes creating infrastructure easy. It is better to spend time developing better services for our customers than managing infrastructure During this talk, Paul will demonstrate how building a scalable infrastructure on AWS becomes easy with Terraform. The talk will demonstrate how using config- uration management, pre-baked AMIs and auto-scaling groups it gives the abil- ity for developers to be able to launch their own infrastructure when needed. The demos will include the ability to launch instances, databases and manage user ac- cessBytheendofthetalk,Paulwillhavedemonstratedthatthecreationofinfra- structure now becomes part of the development lifecycle and that the old ways of system administration is fast moving to become infrastructure engineering. @stack72
- 28. Speakers & Sessions Wednesday, Nov 18 GREG YOUNG Privateeye 1. Alfa Time: 16:15 - 17:10 In this talk we will sleuth into what is privateeye. We will turn our detective skills on how your application actually work and we will do it using nothing but a REPL. You know how to code, let’s code through a murder mystery together. @gregyoung HOWARD CHU The Lightning MemoryMapped Database 2. Beta Time: 16:15 - 17:10 The Lightning Memory-Mapped Database (LMDB) was introduced at LDAP- Con 2011 and has been enjoying tremendous success in the intervening time. LMDB was written for the OpenLDAP Project and has proved to be the world’s smallest, fastest, and most reliable transactional embedded data store. It has cemented OpenLDAP’s position as world’s fastest directory server, and its adoption outside the OpenLDAP Project continues to grow, with a wide range of applications including big data services, crypto-currencies, machine learning, and many others. The talk will cover highlights of the LMDB design as well as the impact of LMDB on other projects. @hyc_symas ROBERT VIRDING Implementing Languages in Erlang 3. Lambda Time: 16:15 - 17:10 @rvirding
- 29. Speakers & Sessions Wednesday, Nov 18 SEBASTIEN LAMBLA The Simple Life of ReSTful Microservices 4. Zeta Time: 16:15 - 17:10 Microservices are in, monolithic apps are out, everyone is high in the cloud, SOA is undead, ReSTful is never really ReSTful because pragmatism, and mes- saging is either really awesome or really bad. Very complicated, right? Complex systems are all around us, often made of many small and simple entities. In this talk we’ll explore how complexity can be reduced to its smallest cohesive parts, communication normalized through the power of evolvable contracts, ReSTful and event-driven interfaces, and how to make a microservice swarm fly in unison. @serialseb JEVGENIJ NEKRASOV Being Meta 5. Theta Time: 16:15 - 17:10 We are going to discuss meta programming approaches in .NET world, trying to give brief overview of different techniques,which can expand your horizons as a developer and become more meta-developer.It’s all about writing code, which analyse your code or manipulate it, so we will start with some simple examples and then go a bit dipper.Special attention will be given to DSL and how you can construct your own implementation. @jnekrasov
- 31. After conference - discussion and beer time EXIT Club Jasinskio str. 16A Time: 19:00 - 1:00 This year party will be held at EXIT club (Jasinskio 16A, Vilnius). We prepared separate zones for people who want to chat or code and those who want to dance and go crazy with amazing DEVELOPERS music band “UNDEFINED” from VISMA LIETUVA. All the zones will have it’s own bar - so fill free to grab a beer - it’s on us!
- 32. Speakers & Sessions Thursday, Nov 19 VENKAT SUBRAMANIAM Transforming Your Code to Java 8 1. Alfa Time: 10:30 - 11:25 The new facilities in Java 8 is about the change the way we write code. Our code will become more expressive and concise. But, exactly how? In this presentation we will take several common Java code examples, discuss the core idea expressed in code, and transform that code to use the facilities in Java 8. Watch and in- teract as you see Java code go through a weight loss program right in front of your eyes. @venkat_s FELIENNE HERMANS A board game night with geeks 2. Beta Time: 10:30 - 11:25 So this one day, I am playing the board game Quarto (http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Quarto_%28board_game%29) with my friend and I wonder, can this game end in a tie, or is there always a winner? Normal people might have squabbled or shrugged, but not us nerds! We obviously abandoned the game, took our laptops to the local pub and started hacking. In this talk I will explain how I used F# to transform this problem to satisfiability, and ran it through a sat solver to discover if it can indeed end in a tie. I will also show how to apply the same technique to more useful problems such as scheduling and register allocation. @Felienne PHILLIP TRELFORD Beyond Lists 3. Lambda Time: 10:30 - 11:25 @ptrelford
- 33. Speakers & Sessions Thursday, Nov 19 MOTIEJUS JAKŠTYS Unikernels and the future of secure cloud computing. 4. Zeta Time: 10:30 - 11:25 Over one million AWS customers are happy with the benefits they get from Cloud Computing. One of the reasons for this is the vast array of choice they have in how they run their applications in the cloud. One choice customers have to run their applications, that is not so well known, is to use Unikernels. At the end of the talk, you will understand how Unikernels can make your applications efficient, scalable and secure. The talk will be followed by a demonstration on how we all can take advantage of unikernels right now. An existing Java-based web service will be converted to a unikernel and executed on Amazon EC2. @mo_kelione SIMONA BEREIKAITE Building stuff at Technarium: a hackerspace in Vilnius 5. Theta Time: 10:30 - 11:25 Technarium is an independent, community-operated hackerspace in Vilnius, Lithuania. We make things: analogue and digital physical stuff, software, research experiments, art. In this talk we’ll show some of our projects, talk about the stuff that keeps us ticking and tell about the joys and difficulties of building an independent open space of technical creativity. @technarium
- 34. Speakers & Sessions Thursday, Nov 19 RANDY SHOUP Service Architectures at Scale: Lessons from Google and eBay 1. Alfa Time: 11:45 - 12:40 Over time, almost all large, well-known web sites have evolved their architec- tures from an early monolithic application to a loosely-coupled ecosystem of polyglot microservices. While first-order goals are almost always driven by the needs of scalability and velocity, this evolution also produces second-order ef- fects on the organization as well. This session will discuss modern service archi- tectures at scale, using specific examples from both Google and eBay. It will cover some interesting - and perhaps nonintuitive -- lessons learned in building and operating these sites. It continues with some more advanced implications of a microservices architecture, including SLAs, cost-allocation, and vendor-cus- tomer relationships within the organization. It concludes by exploring a set of common service anti-patterns. @randyshoup LIZ KEOGH Why Building the Right Thing means Building the Thing Right 3. Lambda Time: 11:45 - 12:40 @lunivore ALI KHEYROLLAHI From Power Chords to Power of Models: Insights from History of Rock Music via Machine Learning 2. Beta Time: 11:45 - 12:40 Who were the most influential bands of Rock history? Which bands could not exist of there was no Velvet Underground? How much Shoegazing subgenre is related to the Drone music? If I like AC/DC, what is the Rock music history was perhaps full of drugs and alcohol but we are sobering up to represent it in terms of (social) networks and find mathematical relationship between artists, trends and subgenres. Full of DataViz and interesting relationships, we will pick up a few common clustering and network analysis algorithms to analyse the pub- licly available Wiki data. Expect lots of air guitar power chords and virtuoso solos. @aliostad
- 35. Speakers & Sessions Thursday, Nov 19 MATHIAS BRANDEWINDER The T in TDD: Test, Types, Tales 4. Zeta Time: 11:45 - 12:40 Test-Driven Development is about writing a test first, then the code that satis- fies the test. Or... is it? Classic TDD has been crucial in my growth as a devel- oper; and yet, as I started using F# more and C# less, my coding practices have evolved dramatically. Nowadays, I barely test first, but spend my days in the scripting environment. In this talk, I will examine how I write code in F# today, in a style I consider very much inspired by TDD; I will also discuss how exploring two paradigms (C# and F#) forced me to re-examine my beliefs, and evolve a slightly different (and perhaps less language specific) understanding of some of the same core principles. @brandewinder OYSTEIN KOLSRUD Functional Programming for the Object Oriented 5. Theta Time: 11:45 - 12:40 Most modern programming languages have taken inspiration from the func- tional programming paradigm and have implemented features for making functional modelling easier. To be able to fully leverage the power of languages such as C#, it is therefore necessary to have an understanding of functional programming as well as other paradigms such as object orientation. This presen- tation gives an introduction to Haskell and compares it to the features provided in C# that have been influenced by concepts from the functional world. In par- ticular, it aims to illustrate how a functional approach to solving problems differs from an object oriented approach.
- 36. Speakers & Sessions Thursday, Nov 19 KEVLIN HENNEY Functional Programming You Already Know 1. Alfa Time: 13:40 - 14:35 From JVM to .NET languages, from minor coding idioms to system-level archi- tectures, functional programming is enjoying a long overdue surge in interest. Functional programming is certainly not a new idea and, although not appar- ently as mainstream as object-oriented and procedural programming, many of its concepts are also more familiar than many programmers believe. This talk examines functional and declarative programming styles from the point of view of coding patterns, little languages and programming techniques already famil- iar to many programmers. @KevlinHenney CHRIS CONDRON Unsafe at any Speed Successful high performance low latency systems in C# 3. Lambda Time: 13:40 - 14:35 @CLCondron DYLAN BEATTIE Domain Architecture Isomorphism: How Spotlight Inverted Conway’s Law 2. Beta Time: 13:40 - 14:35 Conway’s Law says that “organizations which design systems ... are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations”. We’ll talk about the challenges we’ve faced - how do you pro- mote microservices and modular architecture when some of your customers still think fax machines are a pretty neat idea? How can you decouple mono- lithic legacy systems, identify bottlenecks, and create just the right amount of architecture? We’ll talk about systems integration patterns, and how to run the New Shiny alongside your legacy systems to avoid the risk of “big bang” launches. And you never know - we might even throw in a couple of good show- business stories. @dylanbeattie
- 37. Speakers & Sessions Thursday, Nov 19 PAVLO BARON Why we do tech the way we do tech now? 5. Theta Time: 13:40 - 14:35 @pavlobaron PETE SMITH The Myth of the Qualified Developer 4. Zeta Time: 13:40 - 14:35 There’s a lot to master in any job, but software engineering takes this to a whole new level. A good developer has to enjoy learning, and of course we usually do this by making mistakes. But what level of knowledge divides a master from a mere competent beginner? How do we know when we’ve learned enough to do our job properly and consider ourselves fully qualified? In this talk I’ll help you to answer these questions by sharing the stories of my own greatest mistakes, and reveal how a lot of them ended up becoming my greatest opportunities. We’ll explore what it means to fail (sometimes specatacularly) and most importantly, how to make the most of it. And remember - whether you think you know too much, or too little - you’re wrong! @beyond_code
- 38. Speakers & Sessions Thursday, Nov 19 MARK RENDLE ASP.NET 5 on Docker 1. Alfa Time: 14:55 - 15:50 Now that ASP.NET is fully supported on Linux, you can package and deploy your MVC 6 applications using Docker. In this talk, I’ll show you: how to use Docker with ASP.NET 5; how to deploy Docker-packaged solutions to cloud or private platforms; and a variety of Docker-related tools that help in develop- ment, testing and production. @markrendle IAN COOPER Brighter for robust, scalable .NET apps 3. Lambda Time: 14:55 - 15:50 Brighter http://iancooper.github.io/Paramore/Brighter.html is an OSS library for .NET that allows you to build a robust, fault-tolerant Command architec- ture for .NET. It supports pipelined execution of commands both in-process and via a Task Queue, and was highlighted in the May 2015 ThoughtWorks Technology Radar. In this presentation we look at what Brighter is, how it does it, and show you how to build robust distributed system with it. @ICooper KRISTJAN KORJUS Artificial Intelligence that plays Atari video games: How did DeepMind do it? 2. Beta Time: 14:55 - 15:50 We replicated the work of DeepMind as an open source project and created an artificial intelligence that can learn to play different video games in a su- per-human level without any human intervention. I will talk about deep learning, reinforcement learning and their combination called deep Q-Network. @kristjankorjus
- 39. Speakers & Sessions Thursday, Nov 19 TOMER GABEL Onboarding at Scale: An Engineering Problem 4. Zeta Time: 14:55 - 15:50 Of the myriad challenges in scaling up an engineering organization, onboard- ing new employees is probably the least well-understood. There are relatively common solutions for large-scale recruitment, finance and administration, but onboarding remains a question that many organizations struggle with. At Wix we’ve been struggling with massive scaling challenges: over the last two years our company headcount has doubled itself, and we had to learn to cope with the influx while maintaining velocity. In this talk we’ll share with you the story of how we set up Wix Academy, an engineer-driven training organization, the solutions we’ve developed (and still are!), and what we’ve learned in our first year of operation. @tomerg BARBARA FUSINSKA Analysing GitHub commits with R 5. Theta Time: 14:55 - 15:50 R has made the world of data analysis more approachable and has become an important tool for computational statistics and data visualization. With Micro- soft acquiring Revolution Analytics, the creators behind R and related tooling, it’s also now a part of the Azure family. In this tutorial, Barbara will demon- strate how you can use R to turn application data into business insights and actionable statistics. Using Github Archive, an event based commits datasets as an example, Barbara will ask the vital questions such as which languages have had interesting trends and who the influencers within each category are. The records also reveals interesting conclusions about future trends and why partic- ular repositories are more popular than others. By developing intuition about the data sets and investigating them with more formal statistical methods, data can shape your business to be more profitable. At the end, attendees will under- stand the power of the R language and how they can apply the same approaches for analysing Github’s commits for their own application allowing them to turn unstructured data into information that could be potentially monetised. @basiafusinska

- 42. Speakers & Sessions Friday, Nov 20 VENKAT SUBRAMANIAM Let’s Get Lazy 1. Alfa Time: 11:20 -12:15 How can big data or highly responsive applications scale to the increasing de- mands for speed and short response time? Adding more servers to the cluster is not the answer. The smartness comes from being lazy as laziness can translate to efficiency and scalability. In this presentation we will learn about what lazy eval- uation is, explore some data structures and APIs that promote lazy execution, and tie it back into scalability and efficiency. @venkat_s BOZHIDAR BATSOV CIDER: Building a Clojure Interactive Development Environment that Rock in Emacs 2. Beta Time: 11:20 -12:15 This talk is dedicated to CIDER - an interactive development environment for Clojure. CIDER is the most popular programming environment in the world of Clojure these days and it’s quite unique, for it’s not a plugin for IntelliJ, Visual Studio or Netbeans; quite the contrary - it’s built on top of the Emacs editor and it still provides a ton of cool features that most IDE users have come to love and expect from a modern programming environment. We’ll discuss whether (why) it’s a good idea to build dev tools on top of Emacs, the history of the project, its current state and the bold plans for its future. Be advised - by the end of the talk you’ll probably become an Emacs user for life, so attend it at your own risk! :-) @bbatsov AMANDA LAUCHER Property Based Testing: Shrinking the Risk in Your Code 3.

- 43. Speakers & Sessions Friday, Nov 20 CHRIS CONDRON Teaching my Team CQRS 4. Zeta Time: 11:20 -12:15 @CLCondron OSVALDAS GRIGAS Life without Objects 5. Theta Time: 11:20 -12:15 Transitioning from OOP to functional style can be quite challenging, not least because OO programmers are used to thinking in nouns. Programming lan- guages that use functions as primary means of abstraction force one to: - de- sign things in terms of verbs, - find new ways of doing composition, - rediscover polymorphism in a different light. Fear not! What you have learned about good OO design can be applied to FP, in obvious and weird ways. Code examples will be presented in Clojure. @ogrigas
- 44. Speakers & Sessions Friday, Nov 20 MICHAEL FEATHERS The Slow Steady Industry Move Toward Tacit Programming 1. Alfa Time: 13:15 -14:10 We’re all aware that the industry is moving from Object-Orientation toward Functional Programming, but the move may be even deeper than that. As we adopt a strongly compositional style using tools like LINQ, Rx, Java Streams, and Ruby’s Enumerable, we find that we approach a type of programming that is closer to what is common in the APL family of languages. This talk will explore the trend and its possible ramifications. @mfeathers SAM ELAMIN Monoliths to Microservices. A Journey 2. Beta Time: 13:15 -14:10 Your monolithic system is a pain to work with and maintain. Moving to a dis- tributed system will solve all your problems and you will be in developer heaven. Right? You will be working with cool technologies and amazing concepts. Plus, it’s Microservices! So what could possibly go wrong? In this talk Sam Elamin will relate his real life experience migrating a single ASP.NET application with a monolithic database to a distributed system dealing with £100,000 transactions every hour. Sam will cover the challenges faced, the lessons learned, and offer some final takeaways. This “from the trenches” story will show you the pitfalls to avoid when doing Microservices. @samelamin PAVLO BARON Why monitoring sucks, and how to improve it 3.

- 45. Speakers & Sessions Friday, Nov 20 MATHIAS BRANDEWINDER Crunching through big data with MBrace, Azure and F# 4. Zeta Time: 13:15 -14:10 For data exploration and rapid prototyping, the productivity of an interactive scripting environment is hard to beat: simply grab data, run code, and iterate based on immediate feedback. However, that story starts to break down when the data you have to process is big, or the computations expensive. Your local machine becomes the bottleneck, and you are left with a slow and unresponsive environment. In this talk, we will introduce MBrace.net, an open-source and free engine for scalable cloud programming. Using the MBrace programming model, you can keep working in your beloved familiar scripting environment, and easily execute C# or F# code on a cluster of machines on Azure. We will focus primarily on live demos, from provisioning an Azure cluster with Brisk, to analyzing large datasets in a distributed fashion; in particular, we will discuss how this setup is relevant to data science and machine learning. @brandewinder PAWEL SAWICZ Mutate your code and reveal you true test coverage 5. Theta Time: 13:15 -14:10 Session is about mutation testing, why and when you should mutate your code. What benefits comes by mutating your code. Simply test your own tests. It’s very helpful tool with TDD where you are exposed to a lot of wrong assumptions and simple syntactic errors that can propagate other errors. @sawiczpawel
- 46. Speakers & Sessions Friday, Nov 20 KEVLIN HENNEY Programming with GUTs 1. Alfa Time: 14:30 -15:25 These days testing is considered a sexy topic for programmers. Who’d have thought it? But what makes for good unit tests (GUTs)? There’s more to effec- tive unit testing than just knowing the assertion syntax of a framework. Test- ing represents a form of communication and, as such, it offers multiple levels and forms of feedback, not just basic defect detection. Effective unit testing requires an understanding of what forms of feedback and communication are offered by tests, and what styles encourage or discourage such qualities. What style of test partitioning is most common, and yet scales poorly and is ineffec- tive at properly expressing the behaviour of a class or component? What styles, tricks and tips can be used to make tests more specification-like and can scale as the codebase grows? @KevlinHenney RACHEL REESE Patterns and Practices for RealWorld Eventdriven Microservices 2. Beta Time: 14:30 -15:25 At Jet.com, we’ve based our architecture around cloud-based event-driven mi- croservices, and over the last several months, have schooled ourselves on what works and what doesn’t. This session will walk you through the lessons we have learned on our way to developing our platform. @rachelreese BEN HALL Real World Experience Report on Running Docker 3.

- 47. Speakers & Sessions Friday, Nov 20 DARACH ENNIS Our Little Pony 4. Zeta Time: 14:30 -15:25 Pony is a relatively new LLVM based compiled language supporting ease of in- tegration with native code. This talk takes a deep dive into Pony and the mature Erlang ecosystem. Plus, who doesn’t like ‘ponies’? Talk objectives: - Learn a little about Pony itself, using Pony, and extending Pony with native extensions. - Compare and contrast to the Erlang ecosystem on a joyride through the fields of pony. - There will be pictures of ponies, natch. @darachennis YAN CUI My adventure with Elm 5. Theta Time: 14:30 -15:25 Reactive Extensions (Rx) has brought reactive programming to the mainstream in recent years with successful adoption in languages such as C#, Java and JavaScript. But have you ever wondered what Rx will look like as a language? Elm is a new programming language based on the idea of Functional Reactive Programming (FRP). Elm lets you create highly interactive web applications without all the messy callbacks tangling around shared states. In this talk Yan Cui will give a gentle introduction to Elm and share his experience learning Elm and recreating Missile Command in Elm with less than 250 LOC. You will leave this session with a handle on the Functional Reactive Programming paradigm and a basic understanding of the Elm language. @theburningmonk
- 48. Speakers & Sessions Friday, Nov 20 PIETER HINTJENS Ten Rules for API Design 1. Alfa Time: 15:45 -16:40 Every software developer uses APIs and most of us make them. The design of a “good” API is a black art. You know one when you see one. And yet how many of us could explain why some APIs are complex and hard to learn, while others are clean, simple, and a joy to use. It’s a question I’ll answer in this talk, and provide ten rules for good API design. @hintjens JEROEN SOETERS The Hitchhiker’s Guide To Neuroevolution in Erlang 3. Lambda Time: 15:45 -16:40 @JeroenSoeters DYLAN BEATTIE Are smart systems making us stupid? 2. Beta Time: 15:45 -16:40 The Turing Test will be passed by 2020. Not by an advanced artificial intelli- gence, but by a human being who is stupider than their own phone Did you read about the man who drove his car into a lake because Google Maps told him to? Or the woman who put her phone into “airplane mode” and threw it out of a window? Does Google ever freak you out by showing you stuff it’s not supposed to know about? Software and smart devices are changing the world beyond recognition, and all too often, the human beings who create it are struggling to keep up. We create devices that can make crystal-clear hi-def video calls to anywhere in the world, and then laugh at someone who microwaves their iPhone because they read online that it would charge the battery. You spend $800 on a tablet computer that doesn’t even include an instruction manual - and then your three-year-old kid finds a shortcut for playing Peppa Pig videos that you didn’t know existed. At the other end of the scale, we’re building huge distribut- ed systems too complicated for any human to understand. @dylanbeattie
- 49. Speakers & Sessions Friday, Nov 20 PAUL STACK Continuous Delivery The Missing Parts 5. Theta Time: 15:45 -16:40 A lot of developers have started to believe that hooking Visual Studio up to Azure and pushing code direct from their machines is CD. As much as I hate to say it, it isn’t. Continuous delivery has so many more moving parts required to work together. As we discuss concepts such as config management, orches- tration, security, monitoring and logging, this talk will help developers realise that continuous delivery is something we need to continually measure, learn and adapt to make us a higher achieving organisation. @stack72 JONATHAN GRAHAM Reactive Systems: From Drug Development to Functional Programming 4. Zeta Time: 15:45 -16:40 Systems built as Reactive Systems are more flexible, loosely-coupled and scalable. This makes them easier to develop and amenable to change. They are significantly more tolerant of failure and when failure does occur they meet it with elegance rather than disaster. Focus is given to designing systems that are responsive to issues and constraints, through knowledge of the impact of ex- ceeding standard operating ranges and the use of real-time analytics; resilient to failures that could occur at any point within the system; elastic to changing demands that occur during the lifecycle of manufacture through a flexible and well understood approach to scalability; and message driven, whereby the re- sources used and specifications required for a specific segment of the system are derived by the demands external to that segment. In this presentation we will use learnings from the Pharmaceutical Industry to explore the extent of the Reactive Manifesto for software development, and we will look specifically at how this relates to functional programming. @graham_jp
